Lucyd Releases the First Prescription Compatible Smart Glasses

SINGAPORE, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucyd Pte LTD. has recently released their first product, Lucyd Loud, the world's first prescription-compatible Bluetooth smart glasses. Loud uses bone conduction technology to deliver clear, open-ear sound to the wearer, and brings the functions of a Bluetooth headset and more to a normal sunglass form factor.

Lucyd Loud is equipped with a microphone, speakers and a trackpad, allowing users to answer and control calls, listen to music, and access voice assistants like Siri, all without their smartphone ever leaving their pocket. A number of popular apps such as Whatsapp and Venmo can also be accessed via Siri with Lucyd Loud.

Lucyd Loud is the newest addition to their recently launched eShop, which features the latest technologies and trends in eyewear. The eShop includes a licensed eye doctor available to answer shoppers' eye care questions for free, and a virtual try-on app where users can leverage the latest in VR technology to try glasses on before they purchase them.

Commenting on the vision for Lucyd, co-founder and media lead Harrison Gross said, "Our mission at Lucyd is simple: we want to upgrade your eyewear. The glasses we wear today have hardly evolved at all in the past 100 years and we want to change that. Lucyd Loud is our first product towards delivering on this mission, and over the upcoming months, we'll continue to roll out new features and products that bring glasses into the 21st century."

Lucyd's flagship product, a visual AR smartglass called Lucyd Lens, is currently in development and is expected to launch in 2019.

The new Lucyd Loud glasses sell for $99 and include free 2-day FedEx shipping in the U.S. and low-cost FedEx delivery worldwide.
